(A) Points show the maximum likelihood estimate of the fraction susceptible fMLE (y-axis) and λMLE (x-axis) for field strains cultured ex vivo in each of four red blood cell age fractions (panel titles). For some trials, the model could not be fit due to small numbers of infected cells; there are 20, 18, 16, and 12 strains shown in the very young, young, medium, and old panels. (B) fMLE (y-axis) and λMLE (x-axis) from (A) for the very young (pink) and old (blue) red blood cell age fractions are paired by strain here to highlight strain-specific responses to red blood cell aging.
